                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
    To designate the month of May 1994 as ``Older Americans Month''.

Whereas older Americans have contributed many years of service to their 
        families, their communities, and the Nation;
Whereas the population of the United States contains a large percentage of older 
        Americans, who have a wealth of knowledge and experience;
Whereas older Americans should be acknowledged for the contributions they 
        continue to make to their communities and the Nation; and
Whereas many States and communities acknowledge the contributions of older 
        Americans during the month of May: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That, in recognition of the 
traditional designation of the month of May as ``Older Americans 
Month'' and the repeated expression by the Congress of its appreciation 
and respect for the achievements of older Americans and its desire that 
older Americans continue to play an active role in the life of the 
Nation, the month of May 1994 is designated as ``Older Americans 
Month''. The President is authorized and requested to issue a 
proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe such 
month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
